In February 1957, a ceremony attended by Dean A. H Albrekson, Chief Mposi, local guests particularly the nearby Lemba Masarira clan, staff and the Director of Education from Salisbury (now Harare) Mr Finkle, was held to officially open Chegato Secondary School, which during the same year had taken up permanent residence in the new buildings.
In 1961 Chegato Secondary School was connected to the national telephone network and the following year it was connected to the national electricity grid owing to, among other advantages, the discovery of emeralds at the nearby Sandawana mines and also the strategic location of Jeka Clinic which happened to lie along the same route of access.
Bergman resigned in 1966 to take up a new position as the Evangelical Lutheran Church-Rhodesia (ELC-R) Education Secretary and was replaced by Mr H. E Perrson who had arrived from Sweden in September 1965.
Most of these structures were erected by the new school builder Mr Chikomo Musvaburi and his contract workers.
At the end of Mr Bergman's tenure as headmaster in 1966, the school had 6 classes with almost 200 students and 9 teachers.
When Rev R. P Tangawamira retired Morris Ngara took over as the new principal and has begun work on landscaping the grounds of the school.
